MOUNTING OPTIONS

¼"-20 MOUNTING POINTS

ARRI FOLDABLE SUNHOOD

This foldable sunhood for the Camera Control Monitor CCM-1 can be mounted to the CCM-1 without any tools, as the side flaps and the top flap hold together magnetically. The outside material is strong and durable, while the microfiber material inside protects the CCM-1 display and prevents reflections even when folded.

ARRI MONITOR ARM FOR CAMERA MAC-1

The 2-axis MAC-1 monitor arm allows for rapid positioning of the CCM-1 without affecting the horizon relative to the camera. The MAC-1 features an adjustable friction system for one-handed repositioning and inserts for different mounting standards (1/4" ARRI Pin-Lock and SmallHD Pins).

ARRI CAMERA CONTROL

INTERACTIVE OVERLAYS
Status Components 
A live image with interactive status components allows quick access to the most frequently adjusted settings. Changes occur in real-time and can be viewed live instead of changing between a menu and the image.

HOME SCREEN 
The familiar HOME screen has been updated for the larger CCM-1 display and shows all relevant camera information at a glance. Touching one of the five main exposure parameters will take users to a live image where they can make adjustments with a real-time preview. On the left, an overview of the user button assignments is shown. 

CLASSIC MENU 
The CCM-1 offers access to the complete camera menu for access to all camera settings. The menu[1] can be controlled with touch or physical keys and offers the same intuitive layout as the MVF-2. 

PLAYBACK CONTROL 
Improved playback control is accessed via the menu or a user button. An extended clip list can be viewed during playback and includes a handy metadata display.
